when children are too scared to go to bed and sleep
you know the world has fallen too deep
bombs going off as warning threats
soldiers laughing and making bets
killing each other has become a game
yet they live on – without any shame
boys playing cops and robbers with plastic
is where they learn and plan their best tactic
boys so young, being dragged to war – for who?
fighting for reasons that they don’t want to
see where mans’ greed has lead
parents weeping when they learn their boys are dead
the whole world is participating in a pointless fight
day time is over, the world is dark as night
innocent people are being destroyed inside
when they said we would be in peace – they lied
babies raped and many left to die
mothers not having a chance to say goodbye
the end is upon our nation
do you think God planned this in His creating?
being sick of all the pain caused by others
we should love each other – be brothers
drugs and prostitution are making our world decay
a part of everything dies each day
we have created a ticking bomb with each crime
except now we watch and laugh by paying a dime
how many times must we hear the children’s’ screams?
there are no such things as ambitions or dreams
when will we all wake up and see?
what the world will turn out to be
when will we realize we need more love?
maybe only when everyone is floating above.
